The event theme was “A Spirited Soiree” as the event space was transformed into a classic and rustic setting.

Afterward, guests made their way over to the after party adjacent to the event room. AFR provided decor while Amp’d Entertainment’s Mike Walsh remixed the party!

Congrats to everyone who was nominated and awarded and thank you to all of the sponsors to help put together this amazing occasion!
